Check out the burbs!

Seattle is a beautiful place to live and work, but if you are craving the open floor plans and large spaces of new construction, then look no further than the many beautiful Seattle suburbs! In the south, wonderful developments are popping up in Kent, Renton, and Des Moines. If you go east, you can still find some wonderful new construction in Bellevue and Kirkland, but the trend is heading towards the mountains with more activity in Sammamish and Issaquah – and even Cle Elum, North Bend, and Roslyn. Real estate is going crazy in North Seattle with areas of Lynnwood Washington like Martha Lake and Mill Creek still growing considerably. Edmonds, Richmond Beach and Woodway have some good options – some of them complete with views of the sound! Lake Forest Park has some beautiful custom homes going in. Even Brier and Mountlake Terrace have new construction going in! South Everett and Snohomish just North of Mill Creek are probably the most active and the homes being put in are loaded with all the new features buyers are looking for today.

Granite?  Stainless? Seller Paid Closing Costs?  No Problem!!!

Granite and stainless steel seem to prevail as standard rather than being an option and builders are throwing in perks left and right – plasmas, gift cards, you name it! Seattle Suburb builders have finally realized that they are in a buyer’s market and as a result, Seattle buyers are getting some amazing deals! On top of that, the housing interest rates are low so Seattle buyers are getting the best of both worlds!!!! Buying in the Seattle suburbs is a good choice because the price is right – right now! Home maintenance costs are lower and you can actually sit back and watch your equity grow rather than have to dip into it to make costly improvements or repairs.

Get in there and Negotiate for you!!!! Your experienced full service Realtor can help you get the best investment possible! Take advantage of the buyer perks available right now! It doesn’t happen very often!!!!

I have seen so many amazing perks offered to buyers recently when it comes to new construction.  In addition to drastic price drops in an attempt to remove inventory form their books, builders and their agents are seemingly willing to throw in a lot more!  I have seen low low 30 yr financing plus closing costs completely paid.  I have also seen homeowners dues prepaid by the builder for a year or two, and don’t get me started on the free plasma TVs!!!!  It seems that anything is a go in an attempt to woo you. 

The best part is that you get a cheap deal on a house which can turn into a pretty good investment.  The neighbors like you, too because the sooner it closes and the builder is out of the neighborhood, the sooner their equity starts growing.  Yours grows, too, but more so because you started out lower than them in most cases.

If you are interested in new construction in and around Seattle, let me know if you need help weaving through just how many offers you can get.
